“He claimed he left home to walk to a store buy cigarettes and feared for his safety, so he took his gun,” Chris Gautz, a spokesman for the Michigan Department of Corrections, said in a statement to The Post. Michael McRae said his son bought a gun sometime after he was arrested in 2019 but never admitted that he had it in the house and refused to show it to his father. When the father confronted the son about gunshots he heard in his Lansing backyard, he said, Anthony McRae told him it was fireworks, even after Michael McRae saw bullet casings on the grass.Article content
